Review of The Crying Game (1992) by Allen B — 01 Dec 2009
***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***.
It's best if you watch this film knowing absolutely nothing about it. It comes pretty close to a masterpiece and is easily in the Top 50 British movies ever made (Technically, it is Irish, but the majority is shot in London).
All the performances are fantastic, especially Stephen Rea, Forest Whitaker, Miranda Richardson and the debutting Jaye Davidson. Neil Jordan's well written script contains some pearls of dialogue and he directs his thriller with some deft touches, maintaining the tension throughout the running time. Thoroughly recommended.
